F-21,22 Wings

[Tom Garrick]

Hello again gang. Does any one know of a F-21 or F-22 wing that is uncovered so I can get pictures, or perhaps drawings of either of these wings?

In the heart of Gods country,

Re: F-21,22 Wings

Due to the flaps and fuel tanks there is quite a bit of difference between the wings. What are you trying to do?

Re: F-21,22 Wings

When my wings were put together in Texas they were put together with the aileron cables coming out of the wing root on five inch centers. The guides for the cables on the fuselage are on one inch centers. Trailing edge ribs 3, 4, and 5 were replaced from my original ribs and do not allow the cable to come together on one inch centers to go through the fuselage guides. I need to know how to rebuild my wings so the aileron cables can fit through fuselage guides that are only one inch appart.

Re: F-21,22 Wings

THEY have to go into fuselage the correct way, ( five inch)I talked with you
about this I will talk with Bob Harer the instant I get back from the conference.
You must have not gotten your complete airplane back from Brownsville in the same form it went there.
Explain to the group your Ser# and what happened , If the ship was complete and flying at one time, that is how it has to be rebuilt....
